Do you hear Him?

Prayer should not just be a time for us to make our requests to God. Yes He cares about the desires we have that advance His will in our lives, but do you ever take time to just be silent in your prayer time to let Him reveal Himself to you? If we are not careful we can make prayer like ordering at a drive thru. You don't make your request at the drive thru speaker and then just drive away. You have to pull up to the window and see how much the things you are requesting will cost you. God hears your prayers and wants to help you, but He may also need to show you how much the things you are requesting will 'cost you'. He is ALWAYS trying to grow us, not leave us where we are. (See Jeremiah 33:3)
